The key political and constitutional issues that indicated the unrest of Georgia as a member of the united state was the conflict on the slave trade and the undefined differentiation of state versus federal powers.

As slave trade loomed all over during 1980s Georgia came up with anti-slave trade laws that illegalized slave trade, this law triggered constitutional unrest in Georgia as the law was made within the state, the law denied united state congress the power to make changes on the law made in the state; this was seen to weaken united state security as it was made without engaging the federal government. The rule was bound to disrupt peace in other states, due to disagreement on the terms of the new rule on the slave trade as other states supported the trade, that was being abolished by the trade. The key content of the anti-slave trade law was the introduction of heavy penalties to those practicing or aiding the slave trade. Georgia abolished the slave trade in its state and also encouraged other states to uphold the rule of banishing slave trade

Politically the anti salve trade law made by Georgia triggered political issues since the state didn’t give an immediate decision on the right of keeping or freeing slaves by the slaveholder, by the sovereignty process by the federal government, this was delayed until the slaveholders engaged the other states to seek support and commitment for them to uphold slave trade. This disrupted the state of political calmness between the states since not everyone supported the abolition of slave trade. This conflict on slave trade caused, a political unrest pushing the republicans and the democrats to hold several political debates to discus on slave trade and its future in United States of America.
